I think Homo-Sapiens have surpassed cockroaches as the toughest species on the planet. The Earth would literally have to explode to kill everyone. If we wait long enough, we will start to populate other planets. Will the human species last forever? Will we eventually go to another planet, and evolve into something else? Is that part of the cycle we are witnessing today? Was Mars a former Earth?

Which is part of my point. If Earth lasts long enough, we will start to colonize other planets. It won't matter what happens to Earth if we develope the tech to go somewhere else. Could this be Darwinism on a whole new level? Have we been planet hopping before? Are aliens really long-lost relatives, who have adapted to new environments for thousands of years?

Wrong. Cocroaches will pretty much always be around, long after humans are gone.

Why? The only way humans could possibly become extinct, is a major atmospheric change. If we couldn't breathe oxygen, then most of us would die. Even then, the ruling elite across the world would probably have enough oxygen/masks to keep the species alive.

What does that matter? Unless the earth is obliterated, people will survive. We aren't far off from living on other planets. We can already survive on space stations.

please, all there needs to be is an incurable disease, that can wipe us out. Or widespread war, famine.Or the poles melt, and the ocean levels rise, flooding costal cities---where most of humankind exists.All types of earth changes can happen, and we can do nothing. It's been said that man has risen from the ashes before. And let's not think "technology" can save us---without electricity to run them, and infrastructure to carry, create and disperse electricity and other goods, we are as good as gone. And combine that with the widespread drug addiction, you have total chaos.

I pick roaches over humans to survive anything.

Correct.We adapt the surrounding environment to service us...Roaches adapt to their environment.
